You are probably looking for the infosec.exchange Mastodon instance

This host is mostly for my random stuff, and in little part acts like a well-intentioned placeholder for the typosquatted domain.

Discoverability and Archiving

Currently I'm using this host for saving the items from my own feeds to the Wayback Machine and provide in-links for search engines. I hate that I have to do this, but the non-sense ideology of Mastodon pretty much ruined the search feature for Fediverse as a whole, and this wasn't changed by the fact that they owned their mistake and implemented search eventually.

Yes, I (or anyone else) could do similar things with other peoples published feeds, regardless of the tantrum. No, you can't defederate this, because the process doesn't rely on an instance.

@hajovonta Another possibility is if a request comes from the right direction it is accepted automatically without further oversight or control. Coincidentally such a process would also match how voting in the Parliament works (on both sides) and the idea of weakening checks and balances. But honestly, this also sounds unlikely, I just don't have the slightest clue what happened here.

The President of Hungary, Katalin Novák (Orbán is the PM) just resigned after the scandal of her giving presidential pardon to a convict who helped suppress victims in a pedophile case.

The leader of Fidesz's EP nominee list, Judit Varga also resigned from all her positions, because as the former Minister of Justice she signed the appeal forwarding it to Novák.

What nobody knows (maybe outside the tightest circle of Orbán and Novák) is how *anyone* involved (incl. advisors, aids, etc) thought that pardon was a good idea in the first place? The guy is old, but he wasn't even in prison anymore, his only benefit is a clear background that allows him to work with children...

@ErikJonker My problem is with "believe" (and the misuse of the word "algorithm").

Are there problems in any field of AI that can't be effectively computed on standard computers, but it's at least plausible that effective quantum algorithms can be constructed for them (as in Shor vs. factorization)?

Let's try this again with hashtags:

Are there technological reasons to believe that #AI and #QuantumCompuing will "merge" somehow, or do people only say such things because both concepts sound sci-fi-ish?
